Auto Workers Threaten to Strike Again Over Local Contract Dispute
Updated On: Feb 20, 2024
Feb. 20, 2024 | STRIKES | The United Auto Workers union [UAW]  is threatening to go on strike next week at Ford Motor Co.'s largest and most profitable factory in a dispute over local contract language. The union said Friday that nearly 9,000 workers at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville will strike on Feb. 23 if the local contract dispute is not resolved. The plant, one of two Ford factories in Louisville, makes heavy-duty F-Series pickup trucks and the Ford Excursion and Lincoln Navigator large SUVs, all hugely profitable vehicles for the company. The union says that workers have been without a local contract for five months. U.S. News
